“PLACEHOLDER”
“Federal Indictments -Answers to Frequently Asked Questions” -
“Sometimes a criminal case may be brought when the name(s) of some of the defendant(s) are still unknown, such as in large criminal conspiracies where not every member of the conspiracy has been identified at the time of the indictment. In such instances, the prosecution may use “PLACEHOLDER” names such as “JOHN DOE”, or “JANE DOE” for some of the defendants.”
That hits the spot.
